At Åda, nature, activities and shopping come together in a welcoming setting just outside Trosa. Here you’ll find a small shopping area with several unique stores, the charming roof tile museum, the scenic Åda Golf & Country Club and the popular Åda Krog. In the area you can also visit Trostorp hembygdsgård, where local history and traditional rural surroundings offer a glimpse into the region’s past.
For those who enjoy the outdoors, the Åda Wild Boar Trail and nearby walking paths offer beautiful experiences throughout the year. Just a short distance away is Komöte bathing area, a family-friendly beach with shallow water and soft sand.
One of Sweden’s largest game enclosures was once located here
The area where Åda’s golf course is located today has a unique history. It was once home to one of Sweden’s largest enclosures for wild boar, deer and mouflon sheep. In 1976, six wild boars escaped from the enclosure, and their breeding became the starting point of the wild boar population in the Södermanland region.
Today, the area around the golf course is carefully protected from wild boar by a one-metre-high fence, making it a wild boar-free zone.
At the same time, the close connection to nature remains. During a round of golf or a walk through the area, it is not unusual to spot moose, mouflon sheep, roe deer or fallow deer in the surrounding landscape.
Did you know?
Åda Säteri dates back to the early Middle Ages and was first mentioned in the 13th century, when the estate belonged to King Valdemar. During the Russian raids of 1719, both Åda and large parts of Trosa were burned down.
The present main building was completed in 1803, based on drawings by the architect Carl Christoffer Gjörwell. Since 1841, Åda Estate has been owned by the Isoz family.
History, culture and traditions come together
Trostorp hembygdsgård tells a living story of the Södermanland cultural landscape. Buildings from different time periods stand side by side here, each with its own unique history. The site dates back to the late Iron Age, as shown by the nearby burial grounds and rune stones. The present crofter’s cottage was built in the late 17th or early 18th century and remained inhabited for almost 200 years.
Today, Trostorp is a popular gathering place where history and traditions continue to live on. During the summer, visitors can enjoy homemade fika at the Sunday café, while celebrations such as Walpurgis Night, Sweden’s National Day, Midsummer and Advent are marked throughout the year in the historic surroundings.
